Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Life isn't easy
Love never lasts
You just carry on
And keep moving fast
[Verse 2]
I pulled off the highway
And rolled into town
I'm just fancy free babe
And I travel 'round
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I'm up
Sometimes down
Where can I run to
How have I sinned
When you cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind
[Verse 4]
And my thoughts are filled with memories
They won't let me be
But if all the stars are shining bright
Well they would not let me see
[Verse 5]
It's so cold and the rain keeps blowing
It's tearing through the town
But I'm still fancy free darling
And I travel 'round
[Verse 6]
Sometimes I'm up
Sometimes down
Oh where can I run to
How have I sinned
When you cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind
[Verse 7]
(Ooh, ah)
Sometimes I'm up (Sometimes up)
Most times down
Oh where can I run to
Tell me how have I sinned
When you cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind
[Verse 8]
Who can I turn to
(Ooh) Tell me where to begin
When you cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind
When you cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind (Ooh)
